Last week i completed uni and had a meeting with my personal lecturer to sign me off and give me a reference!

Got chatting about my new hobby some may remember im sewing a quilt- patchwork!

Had a missed call from uni and thought OH NO what have i not done!!!

Turns out my lecturer had a big bag of laura ashley material for me that he bo longer needed!! How nice is that!??

Also for me, lovely to have material on my quilt from
This time in my life xxx

Most people are nice - on here and in life in general :+)

< just that with a constant bombardment of ugly stuff from the media it can be easy to forget sometimes >

A good quilt can be a record of your life... I used to have one that had fabric from my baby dresses, ny school summer dresses, all sorts of things little scraps of fabric that used to tke me right back in time to my great grandmother sitting in her room sewing all day producing all sorts of patchwork, lace and embroidery

[ummmm]

That's nice.

Most people are nicer than we give them credit for :-)

[tinkerbell23]

Thats what id like rowan. Beautiful prints on the material i was so pleased- she has alot of work to do and works across two unis aswell as her own doctorate she is doing and took her time to call me- really touched.....

Its SO nice to be nice isnt it xx

Ps wish i had one like the blanket in the film stepmum!! Xx

I might do one to celebrate my life with Redman ... starting with when we met and finishing on our first wedding anniversary bits from the clothes I was wearing, embroidery to represent the wildlike and birds we love... that sort of thing... not as a full quilt but maybe as a patchwork wall hanging

Beautiful Rowan...i never actually thought of doing anything other than square patches- but i truely am a beginner!!

Hey mabye i should stick a bit of my student nurses uniform in there eh? Hehe!! I feel as if im desperate to finish my quilt...then sometimes i think i dont ever want to finish it!!! Because i want to keep going? Xx

[rowanwitch]

Your student nurses uniform would be good embroider the dates of your training on the patch...

summink from the printer that was meant for someone else. i just collected it and walked it to their desk.

[albaqwerty]

aww Ankou, you're all heart.

Tinks, keep the quilt going.It's going to be a lovely thing to show grand-children in the years to come.

[Ankou]

i am alba. i was even sensitive enough to run away and let them read the details of the p45 in private. its just the kind of guy i am.

[albaqwerty]

LOL

[ummmm]

lol@Ankou :-)

lol ankou

[tinkerbell23]

Started off just something i wanted for my room and thought- "ill do it myself" and all matching...but the more i think on it its getting sentimental ...

The bag of stuff ive been given really is wonderfull there must be 20 patterns!!! Also she included some patterns for me made of cardboard and a metal one!

Lengths of material, triangles of material and also strips for edging- its inspired me to mabye not do such a square-ish one! Hmmmmm xx

[Ankou]

i am jesting. it was a job application form. they were a little sheepish.

I did quilts about 20 years ago. I have just given some of them to the charity shop. I might do another one soon. Love it when they have hidden meanings and scraps of material that mean such a lot.
